Honda has the federal tax credit built in the lease, with buyers required to pay $1,499 at signing the contract. Customers from California or Oregon may qualify for state rebates of $2,500.

The all-electric Honda Clarity is powered by an electric motor that produces 161hp and 221lb-ft (299Nm) of torque. The motor gets its juice from a 25.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack, enabling the Clarity Electric to travel up to 89 miles (143km) between charges.

For comparison, a Nissan Leaf uses a 40kWh battery pack and can travel 150 miles according to EPA between charges.

Plug it to a DC Fast Charger and the Honda Clarity Electric will get up to 80 percent charge in 30 minutes. Use a 240-volt charger and the battery will be charged in 3.5 hours.

Most cars I can look at and whether they are attractive or not, I can get used to them and you know, it sort of just washes over me.
But this car…. this thing, has to be the worst abomination on wheels that I have ever seen. Horrid.
Burn it. Crush them all….
Please.

20k miles / yr for 199$ per month…. I’d be on board this deal for sure!!!! I can see them leasing every one that’s offered without a problem.

20,000 miles, 89 at a time. Many of us could drive this thing back and forth to work, but that’s about it.

There is Insight, so what is the purpose to create fully electric Clarity????

Most likely testing the market.

Honda NSX-R

The Insight is a hybrid

I thought Honda was scraping the bottom of the design barrel with the Civic line, but this. Oh this. Truly an abomination.
